Image is from “Culinary Culture of the Philippines” 1976 Bancom Pigafetta’s memoirs are important descriptions of RP food before new ingredients arrived from Mexico and other Spanish colonies in the Americas such as tomato, chili, corn, cacao. There was yet no kalamansi or large eating mango, and no sugarcane syrup or sugarcane sugar. They are for another set of food history stories.
